Futurama


Cubert's Rants

A Bicyclops Built for Two

I'm Online!: If the Professor has been attempting to connect to AOL for several years, how did he use the phone line (such as in "I, Roommate")? He could have had a second line, but then why did he say he needed them off so he could use the phone later on?

Testing, Testing: Why did the Professor need to make the net suits, as there seem to be a lot of other people on the net, who presumably have them too?

The Ads are Coming!: Why do all the ads have "no" buttons? Not to mention not one involves punching a monkey or some other stupid rigged "contest"!

Sardine on Mackerel?: How do they have "Sardine on Mackerel Action" on the net, when sardines have been extinct for centuries? (or did they just stick a sardine's head on someone else's body?)

Solution by kryten's revenge: Anchovies are extinct, not sardines.

Video Game?: The game isn't on video, so why does Hermes say it is?

Solution by Kyle Williams: Hermes is just trying to show off and impress Fry with everything the future has, he knows that "video" games are not really on video, he just hopes Fry does not know that.

Shotgun?: Why does Fry use a shotgun-like weapon (but with no spray) in the game, when extra strength is unnecessary, as one hit is an instant kill.

Dancing Fry?: Why is Fry dancing in reality just as in the game, as there is no way that he could move as in the game, for then how did he put his arm through himself, and do other impossible things while in the game?

It's a Set-Up!: How did Alkazar have a complete castle set up to fool Leela, with one-eyed statues and everything? He couldn't have had more than a day to do it.

Something Fishy: How did Bender keep fish tanks in his chest? They'd just spill everywhere! Also, how did he swallow the sword, wouldn't it go straight into his fuel cells, as the only thing he's meant to swallow is alcohol!

Pool Cleaner?: If the mole missiles had been strong enough to kill everyone on the planet, simply being underwater in a pool for a little while wouldn't protect Alkazar (though admittedly it was just a lie).

Solution by Kyle Williams: If it was just a lie, why are you asking?

An Age-Old Problem: Alkazar doesn't seem to have aged in the 25+ years since the cyclops planet was supposedly destroyed.

Solution by Kyle Williams: I think the discrepancy was on purpose. The flashback's problems should have shown people that Alkazar was a fake.

The Future of the Race: How could just Leela & Alkazar repopulate the cyclops race? Wouldn't their decendants become horrible inbred freaks?

Slap?: How did Fry make a "slap" noise when he slapped Bender, and Bender flinched? Bender is a 500 pound piece of titanium and zinc!

Five Identical Castles?: Wouldn't the ship crew have noticed the other four castles when they came in to land at first. After all, they only knew what planet Alkazar was on, not where on that planet.

Four-Arm Fry: Everyone knows about this one, but just in case you didn't, Fry mysteriously has four arms in the shot when Alkazar reveals his true form.
